Happy Fall Everyone! The mighty Acorn is a traditional fall motif that we all need to have in our pattern library. This pattern is a simple interpretation of the acorn.
Keep this pattern in mind, we may be using this in a future pattern. Of course this all depends on how much share time I have this month lol.
